"At the outset ., it is OK.. However, giving a second glance, I am not quiet impressed. These checklist are @ very high level and doesn't say exactly what has been scrutinized and the extent / depth the subject area.. This checklist are fine a technical discussions.

"The structure of this template seems to suggest that project management is the sum of its parts i.e. the long list of skills in the spreadsheet. I see project management as a role that’s assigned to people who are added adequately prepared and / or experienced to be held accountable for results. At best, the template illustrates the possible scope and details of that accountability. A skills assessment for project management would be a far less granular list including items such as: 1 Project team experience 2 Leadership ability 3 Service management / support history 4 Financial planning experience 5 Communication and coordination skills Items 1 to 5 broadly delimit areas where any project manager, in any sector, might seek to improve their proficiency.

"I was a bit confused by this IT & Telecom Project Manager Skills Assesement Template. My suggestions: 1) Templates are much more understood when they are accompanied by a cover sheet which explains the "what" and the "why" and the "how" 2) I'm not totally convinced that having experience with Telecom makes you a better project manager for Telecom projects. Certainly having an overview/familiarity with the industry is good, but to have hands on experience leads me to believe that the expectation is that this person will be part time project manager and part time SME."
